Isabel takes on a lot of responsibility and seems to be mature for her age. She takes care of the babies, feeding them and keeping them clean (p. 110). She pays atten- tion to their needs, reminding Esperanza, “We need to change the babies” (p. 113). Isabel also became friends with women who were older—like Irene, who had “long gray hair tied in a tail” (p.112). Isabel responded to aying home very responsibly, caring for the babies and becom- ing friends with the older women in the camp who also worked at home.

Cite speci c ex- amples from the text. Include at lea one quotation from the text to support your thinking. (RL.5.1, RL.5.2, W.5.9a)
Isabel is surprised and worried that Esperanza doesn’t know all the things she needs to do. For example, she was “puzzled” when Esperanza didn’t know how to wash clothes (p.115). When Esperanza told her she had never done laundry before, “Isabel’s eyes got bigger and she looked worried” (p. 115). But Isabel is kind to Esperanza. She patiently teaches her how to change diapers, feed the babies, locate things in the camp, and how to wash clothes.
